Comments:Harrison-Hall & Krahl 1994:This unusual, richly gilded plate is believed to show a statue of the Danish King Frederick V (r. 1746-66), and is inscribed with the name of his wife, who is depicted on the teapot stand above (BM Franks. 759+). Juliana Maria was Frederick’s second wife, who ruled Denmarkafter his death until 1784, and this plate was probably commissioned during that time.
